hey i really love this! i can tell by both your words and the art that you actually FEEL for the women. this sculpture is so full of emotion, i love it. i especially like how the hand has drawings on it, i know that in india one of the things the women do for special occasions is henna, a stain design. i really love it!

Thank you...and you have the right idea about the helplessness, that is what this piece is all about. It wasn't too hard to make, I actually enjoyed it. I'm sure you can do something similar, just come up with a solid idea, and roll with it! :)
